To perform a refactoring

Set your caret at a symbol, select a code fragment that you want to refactor, or select an item in a tool window.

Do one of the following:

In the main menu, choose , and then select a desired refactoring. The list of refactorings available in this menu depends on the current context. If JetBrains Rider cannot suggest any refacrotings for the context, the entire menu is disabled.

In the main menu, choose | Refactor This, or press Ctrl+Shift+R to display the list of applicable refactorings, and select one of them. You can also choose Refactor This in the context menu of a selection.

If the selected refactoring requires user input, the refactoring wizard opens. Note that the wizard's dialogs are not modal, so you can edit the code while the wizard is open.

If a refactoring operation would cause code conflicts (such as duplicate names, visibility conflicts, etc.), the wizard displays the list of conflicts on the last step, before you apply the refactoring. For some conflicts, the wizard can also suggest quick-fixes. For more information, see Resolving Conflicts in Refactorings.

Right after the refactoring has been completed, all changes that it makes anywhere, including other files, are registered as a single operation. So you can use the Undo action (Ctrl+Z) to roll back all these changes with a single keystroke.

Some refactorings are available immediately after you modify code in the editor. For more information, see Inplace Refactorings
